• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

How can I program a "Busy Channel Lockout" feature in the DP3400 portable in Digital mode. I want to be able to use same simplex frequency on two different channels but if one channel is in use the other channel should not be able to transmit when pressing the PTT button and a tone should alarm the user.

Not sure if this helps, but if it's on the same frequency you should just need to verify the admit criteria and the in call criteria and make sure tones aren't disabled. In order for two radios on the same frequency to not try and talk over you would need ( as of ):

Admit Criteria : Channel Free
In Call Criteria : Follow Admit Criteria

To change these settings in CPS you would be viewing the channel, but you would need to ensure that Expert view is enabled (Menu > View > Expert).

This is for US firmware version 1.06, but for the most part I think this applies to most all up-to-date models.

Let me know if this helps.
